1. IT IS HER PRIDE THAT DOTH RESIST THEE and thou dost provoke her to jealousy by thy good
works. Thou dost embarrass her for her failures and she fears the opinions of men. Therefore she doth reject thee. In
rejecting thee she doth also reject Me. Her house is left unto her utterly desolate. Therefore she doth attack thee in
fury and attempt to cast thee forth.
2. BUT IN SO DOING SHE SHALL ALSO CAST ME FORTH. And she shall be left alone and desolate as
those things that she honoured most, her buildings and her ceremonies, and her doctrines and the opinions of men
and her pride and jealousy which do eat as a canker to destroy. Therefore shall that which she loved most destroy her
and leave her desolate.
3. ALTHOUGH I HAVE LOVED HER WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE, and in My mercy I yearn over
her, My heart grieves for her and I say unto her, "Jerusalem, O Jerusalem, how oft would I have gathered thee into
My bosom, but ye would not. Therefore is thy house now left unto thee desolate."
4. THE MEN WHOSE OPINIONS THOU LOVEST SHALL DESTROY THEE and the Beast whose
honour thou favourest shall devour thee. For why dost thou not return unto Me, O thou backsliding daughter? Why
dost thou not repent of thy spiritual whoredoms?
5. FOR THOU HAST HAD MANY LOVERS, including thy own self-righteousness, and thy own way, and
thy own will, and thy own pride, and the fear of man, and respect of persons and their revelry, their songs, their
dances, and their feast days and their own gods, but they were not unto Me. For they do even worship their own
selves and their own beauty and their own palaces and their own luxury and she saith, "Am I not a queen? I shall see
no sorrow." But they shall strip her of her ornaments.
6. THEY SHALL REND FROM HER HER ATTIRE and make her naked and bare. She shall run through
the streets screaming and bruised and bleeding, for they shall wound her. They shall ravish her and they shall slay
her, and they shall burn her palaces with fire.
7. THEY SHALL DESTROY HER POWER and her wealth. They shall revoke her solemn feast days and
the things which she cherisheth instead of Me. Nevertheless, I am married to thee, O thou backsliding daughter and I
wouldst that thou shouldst return to Me, but thou wilt not. Therefore shalt thou perish in thine iniquity, for I, the
Lord, have spoken it.
8. BUT THIS LITTLE ONE, MY INFANT CHURCH, My little one, My beloved, shall be raised upon My
knees with fondling care and tender love and My protection and shall be delivered from all these things which shall
befall her. For they have no part in her and they have come out from her and they are separate and they touch not the
unclean thing of self-righteousness and false holiness, but they are a peculiar people reserved unto Me against this
day.
9. THEREFORE SHALL THEY NOT BE LIKE UNTO HER, neither shall they be likened unto her by
others. They shall say, "These are our friends and her enemies are like unto ours. Therefore, harm them not for they
do bless us, for they fed us when we were hungry, and clothed us when we were naked and in jail they visited us and
gave us to drink when we were athirst--the Living Water.
10. "THEREFORE, LOOSE THEM, LET THEM GO, for they do us no harm, but rather they do us good,
even though they be not of us. For they do know her iniquity and do hate her whoredoms and do know that she is an
abomination, so let them be, that they may minister unto us in their love and in their mercy and to the poor of the
land. We shall give them vineyards and fields, and houses and lands, that they may serve us, for they are not against
us, but for us."
11. FOR I, THE LORD, HAVE DONE IT that I may glorify My name and preserve her whom I love--My
Infant Church, My Little Ones, My Ragged Ones, My Hungry Ones who love Me and not My Wealth, who cherish
My Person, not My Palaces, who ravisheth Myself, and not My Power only, and who dwelleth by My side in
nakedness and humility and adoration obeying My slightest bidding, attending to My least will and caring diligently
for these little ones that come of her--My Revolutionary Children--as them born out of due season.
12. A GENERATION THAT SHALL YET COME SHALL PRAISE ME and a people that is not yet born
shall sing My Name, even in the midst of adversity, for I will make them a people which were no people and I will
be their God and they shall do exploits, for they do truly know Me and they are truly strong.
13. THEREFORE, SHALL THE OLD VESTURE BE REMOVED and she shall be clothed in a new
garment and a new look and all things shall become new and old things shall pass away and I will have a new bride
who will love Me and obey Me and do My will and bear Me children, no longer barren as she was, for this is My
Will for this last generation, and I will take the weak things to confound the mighty, the foolish things to bring to
naught the wisdom of the wise and raise up her that was not as though she were.
14. THE THINGS WHICH ARE DESPISED AND REJECTED OF MEN SHALL BE BELOVED and
honoured of Me and she which was least among all the daughters of men shall become My Beloved and My Darling
One, My Loved One, My Honoured One, the Cared For and Protected of Me, for she is profitable unto Me. And that
which was the lowliest of all shall become the most exalted.
15. FOR THESE ARE THEY WHICH SHALL COME OUT OF GREAT TRIBULATION who have
washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and the Word of their testimony, and I shall say, "Come thou blessed of
My Father--thou faithful One, Enter thou into the joy of Thy Lord, for thy works do follow thee, for blessed are they
which die in the Lord, for no greater love hath any man than this, than a man lay down his life for his friend, and she
hath laid down her life for Me."
16. SHE IT IS THAT LOVETH ME, not this one that would save her life and her reputation by compromise
with the Beast and would save her glory and ornaments and houses by pleasing man, but rather this little one that
hath forsaken all--houses and lands and family and friends and have made themselves of no reputation and have
worn the tattered sackcloth dipped in blood and carried the simple staff of power and been enyoked in the bondage of
My love and obedient to My slightest command.
17. THESE ARE THEY THAT LOVE ME. For who is My mother and who are My brethren and who are
My sisters? They that do the will of My Father.
18. NOT THEY THAT WEAR THE GARMENTS OF THE RELATIVES and who bear relationship in
name only, but love Me not, neither obey Me, nor honour Me but honour themselves and obey themselves and follow
their own way and lift themselves on high and brag of their relationship with Me in name only.
19. FOR THEY DO NOT THE THINGS THAT I ASK and they know Me not, and they lie not with me in
the bed of love, neither do they wait upon Me continually in the things that I ask, neither do they look up unto Me to
be guided with Mine eye, My wish their command, as doth this one.
20. THEY CLAIM TO BE MINE--My wife--My Church--but the relationship is in name only. There is no
other relationship. They have no other communion. They have no other intercourse and they bear no children.
Therefore is this hypocrisy and not a marriage. This is pretence and not love.
21. THIS IS SACRIFICE AND NOT OBEDIENCE. This is the fat of rams and not hearkening. And it is
unto Me as witchcraft and idolatry and their temples are as the temples of men and of devils--an abomination unto
Me, and their offerings are as a stench in My nostrils and their holy days do horrify Me. And their children do sicken
Me and their luxury doth cause Me to abhor them and their beauty is a reproach unto Me and I shall utterly cast them
out and destroy their palaces and strip them of all these things until they shall beg unto Me for mercy. And if they
shall cry unto Me, even these should call unto Me and upon My name in repentance and in turning, I would yet
forgive, but I could not save their system.
22. I CANNOT BEAR THEIR ABOMINATIONS, but I would pluck them as one from the dung heap and
as her that hath been cast aside, as I did in her infancy before she became proud against Me. For whosoever shall call
upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved. Return, therefore, unto Me, O thou backsliding daughter, lest I return unto
thee in My fury and pluck thee out of thy place, for I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy and I will have
mercy, not sacrifice, for she hath not had mercy. She hath cast forth My children, and her that was dear unto Me and
she hath beaten My prophets. She hath harmed Mine anointed.
23. THEREFORE SHALL I BEAT AND HARM HER IN GREAT WRATH and in great fury in the hour
when her cup of iniquity shall be full, but I shall spare these that she hath beaten and protect these that she hath
harmed and bring them through as by fire and they shall glorify Me and they shall enter in to the Marriage Feast of
My Beloved. For I rejoice in her, delight in her--this, My New Bride, who hath oiled her lamps burning brightly and
who doth lighten this world in this last dark hour.
24. THEREFORE, SHALL THEY SAY unto thee, "Whence cometh this one? And who is she and
wherefore dost thou love her and why is this one in thy house?" and I shall unto them, "This is the Bride of Mine
affliction. This is the darling of My Tribulation." This is the one that doth suffer for Me. The one that endured unto
the end in the hour of greatest need and gave her life for Me and that of her children.
25. SHE IT IS THAT LOVETH ME. Therefore do I delight in her and do highly honour her and do give her
a place above all the maidens. And she hath gone with Me through Great Tribulation, neither hath she forsaken nor
hath she deserted Me as this other whose light died out because she had no oil and who was left in darkness because
she depended upon man, and who fled from Me for the fear of man.
26. BUT THESE ARE THEY WHICH ARE VIRGINS IN MY SIGHT, who follow the Lamb whithersoever
He goeth, and who minister unto Me and who are not contaminated by the things of this world--the things in which
her soul delighted--but their delight is only in Me--their joy is only in My presence and they do follow Me
whithersoever I go, even through Great Tribulation.
27. THEY WILL NEVER LEAVE NOR FORSAKE ME as she hath done in the hour of her prosperity. For
she did desert Me in the hour of her power--in the hour of her glory and did dote upon herself and her own things,
but these have followed Me with nothing, even through Great Tribulation, because they loved Me and Me alone.
28. BUT THERE SHALL BE THOSE OF HER CHILDREN THAT SHALL STONE THEE and beat thee
and shall say unto thee, "Why dost thou not honour this, our mother? Has she not been faithful through many years
and ages and times? Hath she not preserved us over the centuries? Hath she not made unto us homes and palaces and
nourished us and clothed us in fine linen? Is she not our Mother? Why, therefore dost thou disown her and dishonour
her to us, and take unto thee this one who is nothing--contemptible in her sight, despicable unto us, who is nobody,
and how doth thou flaunt her in our face to shame us and dishonour our Mother?
29. AND THERE WILL BE THOSE OF HER CHILDREN THAT WILL BELIEVE THEM and follow
them and say, "These things ought not to be so, for have we not done many mighty works in His name and are we not
also called by His name? Is He not our Husband? Have we not dwelt in His house and have been clothed in His
raiment and fed at His table? How shall they say unto us then that we are not His, that we are no longer His bride,
and that we have been cast forth as the shameful ones? How could He cast us aside? Are we not His temple?"
30. BUT I SHALL SAY UNTO THEM, "DEPART FROM ME, ye workers of iniquity, I never knew you,
for I was an hungered and ye gave me no food, thirsty and ye gave me no drink, in prison and ye visited Me not,
naked and ye clothed Me not, and I was alone and ye loved Me not, but rather ye doted upon your own children and
upon your own ways and your own houses and upon others and ye departed from Me in heart long ago--not I from
thee."
31. THEREFORE HATH THY MOTHER ALREADY DEPARTED, lo, these many years for I was gone
from her and she sought Me not. She even wist not that I was not there, and she knew not that My love was gone
from her, because she hath forsaken Me in her heart and honoureth Me with her lips only, for she wilfully goeth her
own way, despite My entreaties and she leadeth others astray with her, for she hath many children and many do
follow her. She hath led them all astray.
32. EVEN SO, MY MERCY ENDURETH FOREVER and My loving-kindness unto all generations if they
will return unto Me. Therefore, though they reject thee, still I will love them and receive them. And be not as that
backsliding daughter and do not unto them as they do unto thee, even as thou shalt not do unto her as she shall do
unto thee. For if she would but return unto Me, I would receive her. For I am the Lord; I change not, and My mercy
endureth to all generations, if they will but call upon Me and turn unto Me, for behold, I am married to the
backslider.
33. AND EVEN AS ISRAEL OF OLD, SHE SHALL TURN UNTO ME and in time of bondage, and she
shall turn unto Me in the days of affliction when she doth weep beneath the willows upon the banks of the River
Chebar. Then will I deliver her, for only then will she turn unto Me, for I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it.
34. THEY SHALL AGAIN BE MY PEOPLE, and I will again be their God. But it shall be a shame and
reproach unto them and they shall live in everlasting contempt. But these faithful ones, these little ones whom they
buffeted, shall be raised to everlasting glory, and shall shine as the stars--as they that turn many to righteousness, and
as those that remain faithful through Great Tribulation.
